Each retracement not only tests investors' mentality and practical level but also represents a revaluation of project value. In this round of the crypto market retracement tide, AI Agents undoubtedly showed one of the fastest rebounds, but at the same time, significant differentiation emerged. PANews has compiled information on 9 top-performing AI Agent projects, which have demonstrated strong resilience in this retracement, with an average highest surge of approximately 131.1%, some of which even reaching all-time highs. Additionally, these projects have been actively engaged in both technology and ecosystem development, laying a solid foundation for market recognition and price appreciation.

Virtuals Protocol

After experiencing a significant retracement recently, Virtuals Protocol has embarked on a strong recovery. GMGN data shows that VIRTUAL achieved a nearly 86.5% rebound during this period, with its market value now rising to 18 billion USD.

Furthermore, Virtuals Protocol has also been receiving positive news recently. On January 15th, Virtuals Protocol announced an updated value accrual mechanism to better support builders in the Virtuals ecosystem. The protocol stated that since October 16, 2024, it has cumulatively received 12,990,427.85 VIRTUAL tokens (valued at around 40 million USD) through post-bonding transaction revenue. This will be used to repurchase and burn the corresponding agent tokens using a 30-day Time-Weighted Average Price (TWAP). Of these, 30% is allocated to agent creators, 20% to agent affiliates, and 50% to agent sub-DAO for future governance decisions. Creator rewards will be sent directly to the agent deployer's wallet. In addition, Virtuals will introduce an agent partnership mechanism to incentivize coordination between trading platforms/interfaces (e.g., TG bot) and the Virtuals ecosystem. When these platforms become agent partners, they will receive a 20% trading tax share of Post-bonding transactions — these funds can be used to reward their communities or other initiatives.

Dune data shows that the top three beneficiary agent tokens and their allocation amounts are as follows: GAME can receive 1.616 million VIRTUAL tokens (approximately 4.736 million USD), CONVO receives 1.107 million VIRTUAL tokens (around 3.243 million USD), and AIXBT receives 0.882 million VIRTUAL tokens (about 0.584 million USD).

Moreover, the Virtuals Protocol has recently partnered with projects such as Animoca Brands, Saga, and Illuvium.

Additionally, the Virtuals Protocol's ecosystem and business data have shown strong performance. According to Dune Analytics, as of January 16, the Virtuals Protocol has onboarded over 16,000 agents, with a total revenue exceeding $75.05 million.

AIXBT

AIXBT has been a front-runner in this round of AI Agent rebound. GMGN data shows that AIXBT has surged over 156.8% from its recent low point, with a current market capitalization of nearly $7.4 billion, reaching a new all-time high.

Over the recent period, as AIXBT has successively listed on major exchanges such as Binance and OKX, it has continued to capture user mindshare. According to cookie.fun data, as of January 16, AIXBT has over 389,000 fans, with a mindshare of nearly 13.2%. This trend is closely related to AIXBT's high win rate in token recommendations. CryptoHunt data shows that over the past 30 days, AIXBT has achieved a token recommendation win rate of 72.4%, with top-performing projects including PIPPIN, COOKIE, and ANON.

Griffain

During this recent market downturn, Griffain has not experienced significant losses and has even reached a new high. According to GMGN data, GRIFFAIN has surged by up to about 95% from its recent low point, with a current market value exceeding $5.5 billion.

As a project officially supported by Solana, Griffain has received multiple recommendations from Solana co-founder Toly. In recent times, Griffain has partnered with AssetDash, Reposa Coffee, Metaplex, and others. In particular, according to Griffain's founder @tonyplasencia, Griffain's Reposa Coffee proxy will soon be launched, allowing users to place orders through Griffain on Shopify.

arc

Following this pullback in the market, arc has also initiated a strong rebound. GMGN data shows that arc has surged by 156.3% from its low point, now reaching a market capitalization of $480 million, hitting a new all-time high.

In fact, since the release of the Rig architecture official documentation earlier this month, arc has embarked on a series of partnership projects to enhance its framework's functionality and compatibility. At the same time, it has been attracting more developers and driving ecosystem expansion by providing richer tools and resources.

For example, arc has partnered with EternalAI, enabling developers to seamlessly deploy open-source models like Llama 3.1 and flux on multiple blockchains through the latter's decentralized inference layer and rig Rust-based framework, ensuring everyone has access to censorship-resistant, tamper-proof intelligence. Furthermore, arc has integrated with Shuttle's Rust-native backend and cloud infrastructure to support developers in building and scaling next-generation AI applications seamlessly. Collaboration with Arbitrum and Abstract has introduced EVM compatibility for the Rust-based AI agent framework Rig, while integrating MongoDB to provide developers with production-grade database storage, search, and management of vector embeddings, unlocking powerful retrieval-enhanced AI for real-world applications. Lastly, arc has joined forces with SendAI to attract more Solana and Rust developers.

Hey Anon

Hey Anon has been the most recommended project by AIXBT recently and has not been affected by the market sentiment pullback, instead accelerating its upward trend. GMGN data shows that Anon has surged by nearly 116.7% from its recent low point, with a current market capitalization of nearly $290 million, reaching a new all-time high.

Recently, Hey Anon announced the launch of the TypeScript framework AUTOMATE, enabling any developer to seamlessly integrate any DeFi protocol into the Hey Anon ecosystem, accelerating DeFAI development. The framework currently supports networks such as Arbitrum, Base, Avalanche, and BNB Chain. Additionally, to drive adoption, Hey Anon has initiated a DAO proposal, allocating 2% of ANON tokens and 1 million USDC to support developers using AUTOMATE.

Holoworld AI

After experiencing a sharp decline in recent days, AVA has quickly rebounded to reclaim lost ground. GMGN data shows that AVA has surged by over 111.1% from its low point, now surpassing a market capitalization of $270 million, briefly reaching a new all-time high.

Recently, Holoworld AI launched a Launchpool platform that allows staking AVA to participate in new token offerings, injecting strong momentum into the price surge. On January 15, Holoworld AI announced the official launch of its flagship AI agent launchpad, Agent Market, on Solana, targeting non-developers such as content creators, the NFT community, game projects, and brands. The platform offers a V1 no-code agent creation tool, with key features including one-click personalized templates, a drag-and-drop knowledge base (RAG), voice selection, a storybook system, a 3D avatar and wearable creator, deployment management dashboard, and private AI chat functionality. Additionally, Holoworld plans to launch an agent skills marketplace, multimodal extensions (such as image, video, live streaming), and support for cross-platform functionality (such as TikTok and Telegram).

The Hive

The Hive also demonstrated strong resilience during this recent market downturn. According to GMGN data, BUZZ has surged by nearly 184.2% from its low, with a current market capitalization exceeding $1 billion.

Over the past period, The Hive has been continuously optimizing its features, including adding support for Apple Pay and Google Pay, upgrading its agent architecture to better utilize LLM's reasoning capabilities, introducing worker bees agents to monitor on-chain transactions and X posts, and adding token analytics agent functionality, among other improvements. Additionally, The Hive plans to roll out more feature updates this week, including streamlining the token LP pool setup process, providing insights into key transactions, and offering detailed token information. Moreover, The Hive was awarded the Best Project at the Solana AI Hackathon, receiving a $60,000 prize.

VaderAI

VaderAI is another standout in the strong rebound. According to GMGN data, VADER has rebounded by 126.8% from its recent low, now boasting a market capitalization exceeding $1 billion.

Not long ago, VaderAI was included in the Binance Alpha list. According to Dune data, approximately 53.4% of the VADER token supply is staked, the number of holders has increased by 585.1% in the past 30 days, and the total assets under management (AUM) investing in DAO Small Cap and Micro Cap funds exceed $798,000.

Eliza

Eliza also experienced a "V-shaped" reversal trend. GMGN data shows that Eliza's lowest point surged by over 146.9%, and its current market value has reached $93.2 million.

On the project's progress, Eliza released a technical whitepaper titled "Eliza: a Web3-oriented AI Agent Operating System" on January 14th, revealing key technical highlights such as persistent memory architecture, core memory system, daily log recording, and a natural-evolution relationship mechanism without XP. Additionally, Eliza unveiled a new tokenomics model, focusing on allocating 10% of net earnings to ELIZA buyback and burn, converting 10% to ELIZA for donation to the ai16z DAO, and allocating 80% to development, infrastructure, and marketing. Furthermore, according to ai16z founder Shaw, Eliza v2 is under development in a private repository. The new version will be more flexible, scalable, and able to support more use cases and complex interactions. Compared to the current framework version, the changes in the v2 version include full autonomy, a unified wallet abstraction layer, a plugin registry, easy setup and installation of new features, event-driven/easy integration, modularization with generic types. The team will merge these changes into the main repository and begin migrating all clients and plugins after refining the details. In terms of ecosystem expansion, Eliza has partnered with various projects such as Unitree, Saga, EigenLayer, IoTeX, and integrated networks like Arbitrum, Hyperliquid, and Lens.
